Here are my Warn fender flares. I don't recommend them. Bushwacker makes great cut out flares but I feel Xenon makes the best non-cut out flares. Google pictures for Xenon's.

Agreed. Don't get the Bushwackers. They're so stiff that they tend to crack. The Xenons are rubberized, and seem to be better quality for the same price. I wish I would have gone this route.

Do you have a 2wd of 4wd? The Bushwacker Extend-A-Fenders look best on 2wds. They are the original style flares. They don't crack unless you hit something with then,just like fenders that dent. My x-wife hit some things with our Blazer,even went through a fence once,and only once cracked one a bit. That was a parking lot fender bender that also tweaked the bumper some. If I had a 4wd that I took on trails I would buy the more flexible ones. But,the Blazer was out family car and they survived just fine for many years.
I included a picture of my '95 with Extend-A-Fenders after it's final ride. The flare on this side didn't crack,but the one on the other side was ripped off,along with the wheel/hub/half axle:
